In January and February 2017, UNDP and civil society organization "MART" are organizing a series of eight regional trainings on human rights based approach (HRBA). The workshops are meant for sub-national civil society organizations and have the purpose to build their capacity to apply HRBA in their work.

During the three-days training, human rights experts from eight hub civil society organisations supported by UNDP acquired a good understanding of the fundamental principles of HRBA, learned how to introduce it in their programmes and projects, and practiced how to become trainers on this subject.

These trainers will now transfer their knowledge on HRBA with other CSOs in their regions, and they are expected to reach up to 160 civic activists.
